Under Armour Gear...buy or keep shopping?

Hey everyone. I'm in need of imput please. I'm about to buy new gear and wanted to know about the Under Armour line. Any and all imput is wanted and appreciated. I'm looking for imput on the whole line...base layers to boots...and all in-between. Pros & Cons...buy or keep on shopping? And, if you would like you can even suggest the gear you prefer. Thanks in advance .

Base layers look close at sierra trading post.They have merino wool all the time by RED Ram and Smartwool,,prices can't be beat.Also watch Camofire.com.I bought all my stuff from those 2 spots over a years time before my last trip.

I love the base layers and socks, beanies are ok. I think you can do better for outer layers, never tried the boots, but a buddy has some warm weather ones that he likes a lot. I work outside all winter, so between work and hunting I pretty much live in the base layers.

I really like the cold gear base layers for certain applications, namely ones that don't require much movement, as you will sweat a little in them. The heat gear compression shirt is really nice for seriously hot weather, I think it does an awesome job of keeping me very cool.

I like them a lot or similar type products. Only have one Under Armour brand. Wife goes to the thrift store and bring the stuff home. It really helps keep you warm. I have started wearing it to work when it's extra cold. The fact that it wicks away and drys quickly is a big bonus as I tend to be a sweat hog when it's warm. In warm weather I use the boxer briefs so it's not so clammy when I stop sweating. She got me a Merino wool under shirt, at the thrift store, and it was excellent too. She has a green light on any others she finds. I don't care for the tight fitting, skin tight, UA shirts. I find them uncomfortable, plus they accentuates my spare tire. Not a fashion item for me, but practicality as they work. Love em. Will never go back to cotton.

I like the lighter cold-weather base layers from UA. They dry fairly quickly When I move a bit and get sweaty. I have a pair of heavier long-john base-layers, and only find them ok. Never tried anything else (except a cap I found in a clearnce bin, which I like). I think its too pricey and would only buy it on sale, but it doesn't go on sale much. Last few summers, Gander has been clearancing a little bit in July.
